Vipex hired Endesa to supply 100% renewable electricity, covered by guarantees of origin. This agreement will allow the reduction of almost 300 tons of carbon dioxide released to the atmosphere.
“Greening the business leads to greater efficiency and resource savings. It attracts customers who value the protection of the planet, reduces health risks and increases people's happiness. In short, it generates competitive advantages ”, says Jorge Santos, Vipex's CEO, stressing that “ this is what we believe in ”.
The path to true sustainability
According to Endesa B2B business Director-General , Miguel Mendes, “there is a firm commitment from Endesa to offer its customers personalized products, and in this case, green energy with no emissions. Sustainability and green energy are in Endesa's DNA, as an intrinsic and non-negotiable value.
We value customers like Vipex who demand that the energy provided by Endesa come from renewable sources. This is the path to true sustainability ”.
Long term commitment
For a long time, our customers' products have been sustainably benefiting from the reduction of CO2 emissions through our investments and the improvement of our practices, in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
In 2002, Vipex was the 37th company in Portugal to obtain ISO 14001 environmental certification, having always been concerned with taking initiatives that go far beyond the requirements of the standard.
Results at sight
Between 2016 and 2020, the kilograms of CO2 emitted per ton of processed raw material decreased by 76% despite an increase in activity by 40%, as a result of a defined environmental-oriented strategy.
The commitment of top management has been essential, as well as the suggestions made the field team.
